Anti-Submarine Warfare

• Submarine are immune by air and torpedo attack.
• They cannot be targeted by normal shellign attack
• They can only be damaged by ASW attacks
• They cannot be sink at night in single fleet, only a combine fleet can.
  • Friendly Fleet can sink submarine (at night)
  • The exception being the night battle node
• ASW attacks is the only to have a damage modifier above 1 with some formation(Diamond, Echelon, Line-Abreast)

LBAS

• LBAS plane with 7 or more ASW can attack submarine durinth this phase

Support

• If a CVL is present, plane with ASW will attack submarine

OASW

• Ever ship that can attack submarine can under some condition perform an Opening ASW attack
  • this is very important for multiple reason:
    • this add an ASW attack
    • this allow to sink Submarien before they do O-torp
    • this allow to kill the sub before other ship not equiped with ASw set-up target it

Shelling

• Ship that can target submarine will prioritize the submarine
  • Kumano and Suzuya being the exception

Ship type	Specific ship	Condition	Day Battle	Night Battle
All	All	at least 1 base ASW	prioritize SS
AV CAV BBV LHA	All	Bomber +1	prioritize SS	Don't attack SS
CVL+Kaga Kai Ni Go	All	no more than moderately damaged (中破) have an attack aircraft with +1	prioritize SS	Nigth Air Attack cannot target SS
	Suzuya Kou Kai Ni Kumano Kou Kai Ni		prioritize surface target
	Taiyou-class Kai Ni Kaga Kai Ni Go		prioritize SS	Nigth Air Attack will prioritize surface target Nigth Shelling prioritize SS
	Gambier Bay Mk.II		prioritize SS	prioritize SS with night air attack

Damage calculation

Anti-Submarine Warfare

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{ASW Power} = \left( 2\sqrt{\text{ASW}_\text{ship}} + 1.5\text{ASW}_\text{equip} + \bigstar + \text{Type}_\text{ship} \right) \times \text{Mod}_\text{synergy} }[/math]

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Type}_\text{ship} }[/math] is a constant depending on the type of the ship performing the attack. See below for details.

Ship Type Constant
Constant	Ship Types
13	Coastal Defence Ships (DE) Destroyers (DD) Light Cruisers (CL/CT) Oilers (AO) (without aircraft equipped)
8	Aviation Cruisers (CAV) Aviation Battleships (BBV) Seaplane Tenders (AV) Light Carriers (CVL) Landing Ships (LHA) Oilers (AO) (with aircraft equipped)

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{synergy} }[/math] is the synergy multiplier bonus from using certain combinations of ASW equips. See below for details.

ASW Damage Synergy
Small Small Sonars	Type 93 Passive Sonar Type 4 Passive Sonar Type 3 Active Sonar Type 3 Active Sonar Kai Type124 ASDIC Type144/147 ASDIC HF/DF + Type144/147 ASDIC
Large Large Sonars	Type 0 Passive Sonar

ASW Damage Modifiers: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{synergy} = {Mod}_\text{1} \times {Mod}_\text{2} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ {Mod}_\text{1} }[/math]	+ (Any Sonar + Any Depth Charge)	1.15
[math]\displaystyle{ {Mod}_\text{2} }[/math]	DCP + DCR and NO Small	1.1
	Small + DCP + DCR	1.25
Examples
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{synergy} }[/math]	Small + DCP + DCR	1.4375[math]\displaystyle{ 1.15 \times 1.25 }[/math]
	Large + DCP + DCR	1.265[math]\displaystyle{ 1.15 \times 1.1 }[/math]
Armor Penetration
Indepentant of synergies, some equipment provides additional armor penetration to ASW attacks. The affected equipment are: DCR: Type 95 DC, Type 2 DC, Lightweight ASW Torpedo, Hedgehog, Type 2 DC K2 DCP: RUR-4A Weapon Alpha Kai, Mk.32 ASW Torpedo (Mk.2 Thrower). The flat armor penetration value is calculated as follows: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Pen} = \sum\limits_{\text{Equipment}} \Big( \sqrt{\text{ASW}_\text{Equipment} - 2} + \text{Mod}_\text{ship} \Big) }[/math] With [math]\displaystyle{ \text{ASW}_\text{Equipment} }[/math] the base ASW stat of the applicable equipment, Visible Bonuses and Improvements are not counted here. [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{ship} }[/math] being 1 for DE, 0 otherwise, Note Armor penetration from equipment stacks, The final armor of the targetted submarine cannot go below 1.

• The bonuses do not stack, meaning only the highest possible bonus applies.
  • The exception is when using the special depth charge projectors detailed above.
• Multiple equipment of the same type still only apply the bonus once.
• There is an accuracy bonus as well but it is small. Stacking sonars will give a bigger accuracy bonus.

Notes:

• When contributing to ASW power, Base ASW is square rooted, while equipment ASW is multiplied by 1.5
  • ASW equipment is therefore the primary source of ASW damage, with base ASW playing a very minor role.
  • However, base ASW is the primary determinant of whether a ship can reach 100 total ASW to perform opening ASW attacks.
• Submarines cannot take more than scratch damage at night (and therefore cannot be sunk).
  • The exception to this rule is when a battle starts at night, or when in a combined fleet
• It is possible to perform opening ASW attacks when certain conditions are achieved. For more details, please see Opening Anti-Submarine Warfare (OASW).
  • As performing an opening attack effectively doubles the damage output, reaching this OASW threshold is in general more important than tacking on additional synergy.
